Inclusion

Students whose IEP determines an Inclusive setting will find themselves in general level classes with the proper supports provided that are necessary for academic success. These supports may include a class that is co-taught, interactions with a para-educator and/or monitoring by a special education teacher or a learning support coach. Inclusive models may appear different at each school; however, the goal at each school is the same: to provide a setting for all students to succeed in the courses with the most rigor possible. Students in Inclusive settings are responsible for all graduation requirements of the district and state.

Functional Life Skills Program

Students in this non-diploma program participate in the Delaware Alternative Portfolio Assessment. This district-wide program is housed at Delcastle Technical High School. The goals of this program are to provide students with the skills necessary for employment, self-determination, and independent living through courses in applied academics and career training. As appropriate, students will be placed in cooperative employment in their final year of this program. All students in this program will transition into the district's Transition to Adult Life Program.

Transition to Adult Life Program

Students in this program have completed the Life Skills Program. This program, housed at the Marshallton School, is designated for students aged 18-21. The program is community based, meaning that it partners with outside agencies to provide students experiences in a work setting. Students in this program are in close contact with state agencies such as the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. When not at the work site, students participate in a variety of classroom activities that are based solely on preparing students for a productive life beyond school.
